Will Pro-Union prof change sides as he confirms anti-Scottish practices by UK-based providers of medical supplies?

Scotland has been low on the list in terms of ordering things before and I would hope they get their bid in quickly for when the test is going to be available.

In a report requiring all the expertise of my granny – ‘If you don’t get doon tae that shop the noo, there’ll be nane left! – Prof P warns the Scottish Government they’ll need to be quick to get some of those new Roche anti-body tests and, in an unguarded moment, says the above.

He’s so right. Matt Hancock will have been on the phone to Swiss company Roche to tell them that England comes first for supplies and to tell the hated Jocks to ‘get tae’ or whatever he would say. Remember this:

The Roche HQ in the UK is in Welwyn Garden City but they have a manufacturing plant in Ayrshire. The town of Dalry has even named one of the streets after them – Roche Way – so maybe we can call in a few favours? North Ayrshire Council has surely funded a few golf outings for the senior Swiss lads?

Leading campaigner for ‘No’ in 2014 and since, ‘leading expert’ (in 20th Century Corned-beef sandwich bugs?) and apparently still ‘from the University of Aberdeen’, Professor of not-virology, Hugh Pennington (82) makes more appearances on Scotland’s MSM than anybody still working in the field of virology such as:

Professor David Bhella‌ Programme Leader (Centre for Virus Research) University of Glasgow and handy for the Herald offices and Pacific Quay

Massaged egos only inflate
BBC please send your best massager each time you call upon his services
As one day it shall burst as it inflates
The man is out of his depths in his understanding the virology of covid -19

Seems Mr Jack, SoS, thinks the antibody tests, procurement and distribution, should be the sole responsibility of the UK Gov and he will be arguing strongly for that. He was giving evidence to a HoC Committee. Report was in today’s Herald but seems not to have made it into its online site, yet

One of the main things that has emerged from this crisis is that Scotland has to secure it’s own supply chains for essentials such as food and medicine.
The UK government has shown that when push comes to shove,it is England First.
We must do this before England’s kamikaze Brexit kicks in.
